Dr. Nicole Pristera
Overview
I am an interventional cardiologist with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. In addition to seeing patients in the office, I perform procedures including heart catheterization and stent placement at Duke Raleigh Hospital and Duke University Hospital. One of the special things about practicing at Duke is that there are experts across all disciplines of cardiology, allowing for a truly collaborative approach to patient care. The most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to connect with patients and their loved ones. I really enjoy getting to know my patients, learning about what is important to them, and striving to improve their overall health and quality of life. Outside of work, I love to hike, travel, and spend time with friends and family.

Duke Cardiology Arringdon
I am an interventional cardiologist and researcher who has been at Duke for nearly 20 years. I enjoy being at Duke because of the “family” I get to work with every day. When we are able to make a patient feel better through teamwork; it’s a great feeling. I chose cardiology as my specialty because of the chance to make a difference in someone’s life in real time. When someone is having a heart attack, they are relying on you to come to their aid quickly. At that moment, I get to apply science to save a life, while learning more about what we can do to help improve people’s lives in the future. In that way, medicine also gives me the chance to learn from my patients and apply what I find to benefit the greater good. I find that whole process is exciting. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my school-aged children. Dr. Patel is highly rated in 24 conditions, according to our data.
